NAF airstrikes

Strikes by the Nigerian Air Force (NAF) have destroyed terrorist Improvised Explosive Devices (IED) factory, gun trucks and eliminated dozens of fighters in Kwaltiri, within the Tumbuktu Triangle, in Borno State. 

NAF’s spokesman, Air Commodore Ehimen Ejodame, announced this in a statement on Thursday.

He said the strikes were conducted on June 18 following intelligence reports of terrorist activity in the area.

Ejodame said: “ The 18 June 2025 airstrike followed intelligence reports of terrorist activity in the area. 

“Surveillance confirmed the presence of an IED-making site and vehicles, which were struck in precision passes by NAF aircraft.  

“The operation is a major blow to terrorists’ fighting capabilities, as the successful strikes not only disrupted their command and control as well as logistics chains but also sent shockwaves through their ranks, significantly degrading their morale and operational momentum. 

“It reinforces NAF’s resolve to degrade terrorist capabilities and enhance security in the Northeast.”
